  • Title: The use of overdentures in children with cleft lip and palate: a report of two cases.
    Author: Tejani Z, Kok EC, Mason C, Griffiths B.
    Journal: J Clin Pediatr Dent; 2005; 29(4):299-306. PubMed ID: 16161394.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of children with cleft lip and palate is complex. Advances in primary surgery and the advent of alveolar bone grafting have resulted in the reduction of prosthetic intervention. However, in patients where surgery is contraindicated or has been unsuccessful, an alternative treatment is required. Overdentures are a simple, conservative and reversible non-surgical alternative for children with cleft lip and palate. We present two cases with severe complete bilateral cleft lip and palate that were managed in this way.
